ABOUT J.PERIOD
With DJ & Remix work for Grammy-winners Lauryn Hill, The Roots, Kanye West, Q-Tip and Mary J. Blige
under his belt, J.Period has become one of Hip Hop’s undisputed Mixtape Kings and most respected
DJ/Producers. His massive mixtape marketing campaigns (J.Period’s recent Q-Tip collabo yielded nearly
500,000 downloads) have been commissioned by major labels including Def Jam, Interscope and Sony to
bolster their artists’ profiles. His remixes have been called “brilliant” and “masterful” by Billboard Magazine,
Vibe & The Source, and earned countless awards. Behind the boards, J.Period’s original production has
earned placement in blockbuster film trailers (Universal’s American Gangster 2007, Fox’s Street Kings 2008)
and major video games (Activision’s Tony Hawk’s Motion 2008, DJ Hero 2009). And on stage, J.Period’s
crowd-rocking skills have earned high-profile tour appearances with Kanye West, Lauryn Hill, P. Diddy and
De La Soul, plus club and festival gigs around the world (Brazil, South Africa, Australia). Rising through the
